BIOGRAPHY

Thomas Grant Gustin, generally known as Grant Gustin, is an American theater and television actor from Norfolk, Virginia.

He attended the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, Virginia for Musical Theatre. He went on to attend the prestigious BFA Music Theatre Program at Elon University in North Carolina for two years. He left school to take the role of Baby John in the Broadway Revival Tour of West Side Story, and performed with the tour from its opening on September 30, 2010 through September 23, 2011.

On November 8, 2011, he debuted on the television series Glee as Sebastian Smythe, a gay member of the Dalton Academy Warblers. Gustin won the recurring role after "an exhaustive, weeks-long casting search", and Sebastian is referred to as "promiscuous" and "scheming". He began filming the role early on Monday, September 26, 2011, after having finished his final West Side Story performance the Friday night before.
